@BaShonaBaShona@LynneStactia So the nation must be officially informed that Kuda attended church?Is this a health bulletin disguised as a testimony?If he wasn't rumoured to be ill, why the urgent need to prove he was in the pews?Sometimes PR ends up answering questions no one officially asked
@KMutisi@BaShonaBaShona@edmnangagwa Always in fighting mode, aren't you? Where has this "Lazarus" narrative suddenly come from? Let's hope you're not dragging Gen. Chiwenga into your usual brand of silly political theatrics just to manufacture another controversy.
@nickmangwana@matinyarare Even in Zimbabwe, sanctions ddnt literally close factories or ban companies from operating.They made business increasingly difficult. Likewise, saying sanctions crippled Air Zimbabwe doesn't mean its routes were banned it means the conditions made sustainable operations harder

@mudharagee The VP handled the flowers with bare hands, while the military officer wore gloves. Given the history of poisonings involving senior military officials, the apparent lapse in basic security precautions is difficult to ignore. Pray for our VP.
@KMutisi@NNyashaYessur US$4.61bn in gold exports means little if it doesn't improve mine's lives. Zimbabwe's mineral wealth should build hospitals, schools, roads, jobs and services, not enrich a few zvigananda while the majority remain in poverty. Licking other peopleโs asses while hiding in SA.
@daddyhope@hbanhire While innocent citizens spend months in prison for crimes they didn't commit, some MPs are busy trying to extend their terms in office. Parliament should be focused on protecting citizens' rights, not politicians' careers. We need laws that protect us from politicians.
@KMutisi Smugglers avoid these payments;
mining royalties,export taxes,corporate taxes,licensing fees so the state misses out on revenue that could fund roads, hospitals, schools, and public services. Then a few vapositori get cars in the name of philanthropism, shame on you xaa!!

@NewsHawksLive@KMutisi@LynneStactia So if the courts eventually rule that a referendum is constitutionally required, will AG Mabiza resign for gross legal incompetence or will citizens just be expected to pretend her very clear interpretation was political fiction all along?
@KMutisi@ThinkTa54628295 It suddenly becomes โa small economyโ only when itโs time to pay civil servants, yet it can afford a presidential motorcade more extravagant than those of much larger economies. Be serious bro
@bester1966@LynneStactia We come together in prayer for Zim, lifting up Gen Chiwenga. May God protect him, strengthen him, and guide him with wisdom and integrity. May he be led by truth, justice, and humility in every decision, and may his actions contribute to peace, stability, and freedom for all Zim
I have been made to understand that some Dzakutsaku, Patrick Chinamasa, @ChinamasaPA, who was never a member of Zanu, or Zanla, during the liberation struggle, has bizarrely declared that "how a President of the country was to be elected, whether by people or by parliament, was never an issue on the table during our liberation history."
I am also made to understand that he dared "anyone to retrieve from NDP, ANC, ZAPU, ZANU, Zipra or Zanla pre-independence" literature any excerpts to the contrary
Anyway, here you are Mr Dzakutsaku. I am fortunate that my father used to take me to Zanu night meetings in Mkoba in Gweru as a five year-old & I developed a keen interest in our liberation history & as soon as I learnt how to read English, I began to interact with literature on the liberation struggle which was available in the house. I have kept some of the literature.
For the purposes of the discussion started by @ChinamasaPA, I am referring him to pages 11 & 22-23 of the November 27, 1973 "Mwenje No2 Zanu Political Programme."
The "Zanu Political Programme" booklet makes it clear that in a free Zimbabwe, "EVERY CITIZEN of Zimbabwe shall have the right to exercise A FREE VOTE to elect members of the National Assembly and ALL OTHER STATE INSTITUTIONS." Surely, the office of the President is one of the most important parts of what the document here refers to as "ALL OTHER STATE INSTITUTIONS."
In the spirit of the document, the occupant of that office should be elected by "Every citizen of Zimbabwe."
The same document pledges that " the supreme legislative authority shall rest in the "MASSES OF THE PEOPLE" and that "usurpation of the POWERS OF THE PEOPLE will not be permitted."
The Zanu policy document was even clear on subjecting "major policy issues" to "referenda."
The document reads, "ALL CITIZENS of Zimbabwe shall participate in decision-making and policy formation through the Party, REFERENDA on major policy issues and effective use of the people's power in ALL institutions of the state."
The document even mentions that terms of office were supposed to be 5 years for every office holder and that these office holders were not supposed to be imposed on the people by "Party bosses."
The same document also proposed the abolishment of the colonial parliamentary system and all its discriminatory laws. So those arguing for taking us back to the colonial parliamentary election system are antithetical to the very transformation of the system that Zanu proposed in the policy programme.
The document reads, " the present National Assembly will be abolished and all its discriminatory laws declared null and void"
So the system of reserved seats for whites had to be abolished. The indirect election of MPs had to be abolished and the election of the Head of State by Parliament had to be abolished. Thats the transformation that Zanu promised and that's the basis on which cadres were recruited to fight the liberation struggle.
So Mr Dzakutsaku, @ChinamasaPA be instructed accordingly.
It's unfortunate you weren't part of the liberation forces, you were fighting to preserve the colonial system with other counter-revolutionaries like Mzorewa so you have no idea why the war was fought.
Anyway, I am attaching the quoted pages for your own reading.
Hello Crime Watch. Pliz hide ID. On Tuesday night, around 10pm, I went down paFlat pangu Castel Court just by Total Garage located along Samora Machel Avenue, Harare CBD.
Pane food court so I wanted to buy food. While I was inside the food outlet, I was approached by ZRP officers who then force marched me into a police truck that was parked outside. I kept on asking what mhosva yangu was but ndai haraswa and they ended up physically assauIting me. I was thrown in one of the cells at Harare Central and I spent the whole night.
I was only released on Wednesday at around 7pm after being made to sign an admission of guilt form for public drinking and made to pay a fine of US$60 but on the receipt they wrote 378 ZiG. The night I was arrested, I was not even drinking when they arrested me.. I'm so so hurt.
Is this what Zimbabwe has become. I now hate the police zvekutodaro.
@PoliceZimbabwe
@JonesMusara This is a deliberate attempt to provoke engagement and draw out the strongest possible merits of the case against CAB3. So pliz donโt fall for it.
@BaShonaBaShona@adv_fulcrum You donโt have to worship alongside someone to recognize what they stand for. People show their beliefs through their actions, words, and the choices they make. Someoneโs deeds are often a clearer indicator than any label they claim or deny.
